Longitudinal Evolution of Bone Mineral Density and Bone Markers in Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Individuals

Abstract: The underlying mechanisms of several bone disorders in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons and any relation to antiretroviral therapy have yet to be defined. A longitudinal study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of osteopenia or osteoporosis in HIV-infected persons; to assess bone mineralization, metabolism, and histomorphometry over time; and to evaluate predisposing factors. A total of 128 patients enrolled the study, and 93 were observed for 72 weeks. "Classic" risk factors (low body… Show more

“…These results strongly support the role of HIV infection in accelerating the development of hemophiliainduced osteoporosis. During the past few years, the impact of HIV infection on bone metabolism has been extensively studied [26][27][28]. Several factors are implicated in the pathogenesis of increased bone resorption observed in HIV-positive patients.…”

“…Despite numerous studies suggesting an association between PIs and bone demineralization, recent longitudinal studies of men suggest that certain PI-based antiretroviral regimens may be associated with increases in BMD during short-term follow-up [41,42]. As yet, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that low BMD translates to increased fracture rates in the HIV+ population.…”

“…HIV and ART have both been shown to reduce bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineralization and bone turnover [11][12][13][14][15]. In the general population, it has been postulated that a reduced BMD is associated with a reduced speed of fracture healing [16].…”
